Every four years, the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) puts together a comprehensive assessment of the nation’s 16 major infrastructure categories in an Infrastructure Report Card. Using a simple A to F school report card format, the Report Card examines current infrastructure conditions and needs, assigning grades and making recommendations to raise them at both the National and State level.
The 16 categories include:
- Aviation
- Bridges
- Dams
- Drinking Water
- Energy
- Hazardous Waste
- Inland Waterways
- Levees
- Ports
- Public Parks
- Rail
- Roads
- Schools
- Solid Waste
- Transit
- Waste Water
The most recent report card was released in 2017. You can see how your state ranked here.
